The Fifth Meeting of the High Council Part Four: Naval Matters
The next day the most important part of the Hgh Council Meeting begins as Admiral Freyr's meeting on the future of the Imperial Trust's Naval Forces, both Trust and Planetary begins.
Admiral Freyr begins the meeting by telling the gathered dignitaries that the discovery of the datacores with STCs fir the Dark Age Fleet in The Sword of Sutur will allow for the Imperial Trust's fleets to grow rapidly over the next few decades, especially with the more advanced starship construction technologies that Archmagos Tranth has discovered. In light of this he would like to discuss exactly what each planet is planning to specialise in. He tells you that given the size difference that there will be between the planetary and Imperial Trust navies that it would be best if each planetary navy specialises in a single aspect of naval warfare and relies on the Imperial Trust to cover their weaknesses. The Imperial Trust Navy will be a balanced, fully independent force capable of operating by itself.
There are two other issues that Admiral Freyr brings up that need to be decided on, one urgent and one long term. First he would like to change the part of the constitution giving the Imperial Trust Navy an equivalent ship for every void ship built by a planetary navy. He would like to have more control over what classes of ships make up the Imperial Trust Navy and would like to work out some way for an equal value of ships to be made with the Imperial Trust Navy deciding on class and type.
Second he tells you that the Imperial Trust Navy will most likely grow to the point where the Imperial Trust can not easily afford to maintain it by the time that the last Command Battleship has been repaired. He would like the High Council to consider raising the trade levy or tithe in order to make up for this.
Just before Admiral Freyr finishes speaking he asks each of the Planarity Governors to stand and tell you what shipyard capacity they have, what shipyard capacity that plan to build up to and what size and speciality fleet they plan to build.
First Artisan Granalf, Governor Garp and King Zaren all tell you that they both have no shipyards, do not plan on building any and do not plan on building anything but a system defence fleet. Lord Marshal Sigurd tells you that he has a single Small Shipyard but is otherwise the same.
Governor Olaf of Vanaheim is as expected the first to speak about having both shipyards and a large fleet. He tells you that he currently has 1 Gargantuan Shipyard, 12 Large Shipyards and 13 Small Shipyards. He plans on building four Huge Shipyards, eight more Large Shipyards and twenty-seven more Small Shipyards. Vanaheim will build as large a navy as possible and will focus on fast skirmishing forces, most long ranged warships and carriers. They will have the Gungnir, a Genghis Class Command Battleship from the Dark Age of Technology as their command ship.
Next to stand is Governor-General Aelfric of Midgard. He tells you that Midgard currently has a single Large Shipyard and plans to eventually have 1 Huge Shipyard, 5 Large Shipyards and 10 Small Shipyards. He is not sure what form of fleet he want to specialise in but is planning on having a large fleet, though not nearly as large as Vanaheim's. He will most likely use the Alexander Class Command Battleship as a though he is not yet certain of this. Governor-General Aelfric will be accepting suggestions on what he should have his fleet specialise in.
The third Planetary Governor who plan on building a fleet is Champion Surt of Muspelheim. He tells you that work is currently under way on half a dozen Small Shipyards and that he plans to eventuality bring this number up to twenty and build a single large shipyard. He plans on building an entirely stealth based fleet, most likely using a Darkness Class Stealth Battleship as a flagship.
Much to your surprise when Governor Ulric of Niflheim stands to speak it is not to tell you that he is not planning on building any sort of fleet presence. He instead, a the subtle prompting o Champion Surt, tells you that he plans on building a single Small Shipyard and building a fleet of long range, stealthy scouts.
Now it is your time to talk about the future of Avernus' navy. You could also make proposals on the issue of Imperial Navy tithes and suggestions to what type of fleet Governor-General Aelfric should build.
